Doggy style is among the world’s most popular sex positions, and for good reason. It tends to feel good for both partners, especially if you’re into deep penetration; it accommodates people with a smaller-than-average package; and if you’re on the giving end, you get a great view. But even our favourite sex positions can get a little stale after a while, especially if you’re always doing it with the same person.
If you’re looking for a fun twist on doggy style, allow us to introduce you to the prone bone sex position, which works for vaginal and anal sex. Fear not: “Twist” doesn’t mean “more complicated.” The prone bone position is easy, especially if you’re on the receiving end. (TBH, it’s the ultimate lazy position for the person penetrated.)

How To Get Into the Prone Bone Position
The bottom (the person being penetrated) lies flat on their stomach. The top should saddle up behind their partner with their knees bent and enter from behind. It looks like this:
Note that entering someone in the prone bone position might be tougher than doggy style. When the body is lying flat, our holes aren’t as accessible as they are in more elevated positions. “Of course, there’s a simple solution for this: raise your hips during insertion,” says Bobby Box, a sex educator at b-Vibe. If that doesn’t work, you can start in traditional doggy style: once the top’s penis or strap-on is entirely inside the bottom, the top can lay their weight on their partner, pushing them flat down while still inside of them. Voilà: you’re now in the prone bone position!

What Are the Benefits of the Prone Bone Sex Position?
For such a simple pose (or perhaps because it’s a simple pose), there are quite a few benefits to the prone bone sex position.
It’s ideal for G-spot stimulation.
If you’re having vaginal sex, the angle of the receiver’s body will help their partner hit that feel-good spot on the front wall of their vagina, explains Dr. Lee Phillips, a psychotherapist and certified sex and couple’s therapist. “Vulva owners have reported the position is excellent for internal orgasms because the penis can penetrate greater depth in the vagina,” Phillips says.
It offers deep penetration for people with a small penis.
If you’re working with a smaller-than-average penis, you want to make the most of what you’ve got—which is why positions that allow for deep penetration are your friend. If your partner’s booty is on the bigger side, you may have to hold your partner’s butt cheeks apart to penetrate deeply.
You don’t have to go very deep to stimulate the G-spot (or P-spot, if you’re having anal sex), so a small penis may work to your advantage in this position, says Gigi Engle, a certified sex and relationship psychotherapist and resident intimacy expert at dating app, 3Fun. Conversely, if you have a big penis, you gotta be careful wielding that bad boy in this position. If it feels too deep, the bottom can adjust its body to limit the top’s depth.
“To create more space, spread your legs wider or arch your back and lift your bum,” Box says. “For a tighter squeeze, bring the legs together.”
It makes using a strap-on easier.
If you’re using a strap-on dildo, the prone bone position makes it easy to tell when the dildo slips out—because you can see it. (That’s one challenge with strap-ons, as great as they are: since the top isn’t physically connected to the penis, they can’t feel when it slips out, and they might end up missing their target—or worse, hurting the bottom.)
It allows for psychological Dom/subplay.
Box, Phillips, and Engle all noted that the prone bone position lends itself to consensual dominance/submission exploration. The top can control the depth, speed, and strength of penetration. They can hold the bottom’s hands behind their back, pin them to the bed, pull their hair, or safely try breath play. Another kinky move to try in this position is the “fish hook,” where the top sticks their fingers in the bottom’s mouth.
It allows for intimacy.
The prone bone position can be quite intimate, even though you’re not facing each other. The top can kiss up and down the bottom’s neck. Depending on everyone’s size, the top may also be able to turn their partner’s head to the side, look into their eyes, and kiss them. They can also whisper sweet nothings directly into their ear, like “You’re so sexy, baby,” or “I love you so much,” or “You feel fucking incredible.”
You can incorporate sex toys.
If you’re having vaginal sex, the bottom can live out their double penetration fantasies by also using an anal toy, like a butt plug. If the top is into toys, they can try wearing a cock ring in this position for additional penis stimulation.

What Are the Cons of the Prone Bone Position?
You might encounter a few challenges with the prone bone position, but they’re all fixable with a little adaptation.
The top may slip out.
Depending on the receiver’s booty size and the curve/shape of the top’s penis, the top may struggle to stay inside their partner. If you keep slipping out, try reworking the angles of your bodies. The bottom can tilt their hips to angle their vagina or anus upward toward their partner. For extra help with angles, Phillips recommends using a sex pillow or wedge.
It’s not great for clitoral stimulation.
Since the bottom is lying flat on the bed, it might be tough for them to stimulate their clitoris—at least, with their hand. But there is a quick fix for this: using a magic wand. “Its bulky head is pinned between your vulva and the mattress, which can give you intense clitoral stimulation while you’re being penetrated,” Engle says.

The weight may feel crushing.
Many people like feeling their partner’s weight on their back. Others don’t. If the sensation isn’t for you, the top can try penetrating from a more perpendicular position—or, go back to good ol’ fashioned doggy style!
